you know, as part of the gathering that i attended, harry reid was there who obviously is the gatekeeper for when and if this revote takes place. and he showed in my opinion, steely determination that this measure is going to be revisited and that it's not going to be a, you know, ugly watered down version that in fact, it's going to maintain the principles of the original bill intact. and again, we had an impressive turnout from families from newtown who came to washington, d.c. who fanned out obviously in the members' offices in the senate that are key votes that we need to switch and actually have now begun actually even working on the house side which again is going to be, you know, over the horizon but obviously a necessary part of getting these done. these people when they come are the most powerful advocates you could ever imagine. i mean, these are smart, be reasonable people, victoria soto's sister who is there who could be anyone's daughter who is a sitting member of congress, you know, they have already bent over in terps of compromising what their wish list would be in terms
